Abstract excerpt
Four amino acid substitutions (aa 176, 235, 266, and 268) have been found between the coding regions of cDNAs for histo-blood group A and B transferases (Yamamoto F., Clausen, H., White, T., Marken, J., and Hakomori, S. (1990) Nature 345, 229-233). Here we establish the basis of differential affinity of these glycosyltransferases to nucleotide-sugar (UDP-GalNAc or UDP-Gal). On the basis of gene reconstruction...
